More food

My non working day today, which I have renamed my 'unpaid working day'.   This is because I always seem to end up working on Wednesdays.  I always think I'll just catch up this week and then it'll be OK, and then I get more work. I know I should push back and my line manager keeps reminding me to, but I am not very good at that, and I want to learn more about this new area of work to see if this might be something I could move into. 

I went to see my oncologist yesterday.  Not the trial doctor but my original oncologist.  He said that the plan now is regular scans, examinations and hopefully I will remain cancer free.  He told me that the cancer will return in about 2 or 3 women out of 10 in my situation.  Knowing this is emotionally very triggering but also my brain reminds me that 7 women will remain cancer free.  I worry that I maybe won't be one of those lucky 7.   He did say that the trial drug I had was cutting edge treatment and should have hopefully zapped any remaining rogue cancer cells.  He said not to worry about it and to just follow the plan.  I'll try to do that.

Sorry this is all a bit TMI but I don't really tell anyone this in real life.

Healthy eating continues.  I made a healthy lentil salad out of my recipe book.  There is salad leaves under that pile of lentils and roasted veg.  That'll be lunch for a couple of days.  I've lost half a stone in 3 weeks so far.
